John Oliver is baffled by our Super Bowl obsession

John Oliver stopped by the Late Show Thursday night, and talked about the apotheosis of American culture that is the Super Bowl.

Oliver seemed overwhelmed by the extravagance of the event, saying: "I'm not used to seeing fighter jets flying over the stadium at the start, and then half an hour of Katy Perry throwing glitter hand grenades, or whatever it is she's going to do."
